Chapter 243: Why Are You Called Kobe?
Richie and Stern have been friends for a long time, but there are only three real opportunities to get out of the way up close, one was in the 2007 draft, when Richie was drafted by the Bobcats and went on stage to shake Stern's hand.
The second time was at the 2008 All-Star Games, where Li Zhi won the MVP and dunk king of the Rookie Challenge, and David Stern presented the award. The third time was at the finals, where the FMVP trophy was awarded.
Although there were only three meetings, Stern was very optimistic about the young man.
After the award ceremony, the Warriors players put their championship rings back in the locker room and came out to prepare for the game. Bryant had been watching the Warriors championship ring award ceremony on the TV in the locker room, and he had some mixed feelings.
Last season, they fell at the feet of the Warriors, although they lost a little unjustly, but if they lost, they lost, and what Kobe Bryant now wants is to win the Warriors and be ashamed.
No, it's a season sweep, and if the playoffs meet, the playoffs will sweep too!
The game started quickly, and the Warriors started Stephen Curry, Stephen Jackson, Rich, David Lee, and Jordan Jr.
The Warriors' starting lineup is too young except for Jackson, who is a little older. But no one dares to underestimate them, even the strong Lakers have to take it seriously.
Stephen Curry was a little nervous, this was his debut, but he was facing Fisher, who knocked him out in the preseason, and he felt a little empty. Li Zhi looked at Curry, who was in a state of despair, and quipped, "What? Kidney deficiency? ”
Curry's face darkened, and he said to himself what kind of boss he was, so he would arrange himself if he had nothing to do.
Li Zhi looked at Curry's embarrassed expression and was in a happy mood, feeling that the future days would not be too lonely. For Curry, Li Zhi has a special feeling, of course, not XXX, but in view of his understanding of Curry's future, Li Zhi always feels that he can't let go of the opportunity to torture Curry, so when he fights, he can say: "Hehe, my little brother?" ”
This mood is probably like Duncan's feelings for Ginobili and Parker, it's okay to touch your head and let you remember me for the rest of your life. Yes, Li Zhi has made up his mind to live like Duncan!
Li Zhi stood on the court, bent over, the referee arrived in the center of the court, threw the basketball into the air, and the game began.
With a "snap", the basketball was dialed by Bynum, and the first offense was taken by the Lakers. Fisher moved quickly with the ball and rushed to the frontcourt.
Bryant made a pick-and-roll in front of Curry, went around to the top of the arc, and opened his hand to ask for the ball. Li Zhi posted it directly, Kobe's face turned dark, why is this still defending himself? It's not a playoff game, are you so nervous?
In the playoffs last season, Kobe Bryant performed dismally under Li Zhi's defense, but in the offseason, Kobe Bryant went through a summer of training and upgraded his shooting, and this game he played Li Zhi not at all like Kobe last season.
Li Zhi looked at Kobe Bryant with the ball on his back and thought in his heart, no wonder the older people are, the better they shoot, it seems that Kobe Bryant is also getting old.
Li Zhi compared Kobe Bryant's back with Paul Pierce in his heart, and found that Kobe's back was not very deep, or he did not particularly rely on position, but paid more attention to the distance from the defender.
Li Zhi deliberately put Kobe Bryant a little space, gave him a chance to lean back, and wanted to learn from it, but Kobe Bryant didn't give him a chance at all, turned around and broke through to the inside.
Li Zhi scolded "Your seventh uncle and grandfather", and then accelerated to catch up. Kobe Bryant said in his heart, "Uncle Seven" is something, and his spirit relaxed a little. Li Zhi's eyes are like chicken thieves, and he seized the opportunity to take out the basketball in Kobe's hand.
"Hehe, you think Death Coiling is a joke?"
Kobe didn't expect that the basketball in his hand would be cut off by Li Zhi, and he didn't care about being shocked at this time, and chased Li Zhi directly to the front court.
Li Zhi dribbled the ball in front of him, and his heart was happy. Death entanglement is really easy to use, it is worthy of being a baby exchanged for four pairs, and now Li Zhi has a feeling of being in high spirits, a death entanglement in his left hand, and a guard blocker in his right hand, trembling! This alliance!
In the NBA in the previous life, there was a saying: "If you haven't been killed by Leonard, it means that you are not the team's number one star and strong scorer." "Why? Because on defense, you don't need Leonard to come in person.
Kawaii Leonard's trick "Death Entanglement" has scared NBA players out of the way. His death stalk isn't the kind of gambling steals, Leonard steals a lot and doesn't lose position, and the defensive quality is super high.
James, Wade, Paul, Kobe, and Anthony have all deeply felt the intensity of his defense. Anthony once played poorly under Leonard's defense, especially when his step-back jumper was blocked, and he said helplessly after the game: "I've never had an opponent who can block my step-back jumper like Leonard, never." ”
Westbrook was caught by Leonard's death in the game, and then had no choice but to spread his hands.
But now...... Hehe, I'm sorry, you guys like the old iron door on your back! The death entanglement in 2009 came a little earlier than the previous life.
Kobe Bryant used his strength to chase Li Zhi, but found that the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger, and then Li Zhi jumped and dunked inside the free throw line, and the first ball of the coronation night was won by the Warriors.
2:0
After Li Zhi scored, he quickly returned to the defense and found Kobe Bryant again. As soon as he thought of his left hand being entwined with death and his right hand guarding the blocker, Li Zhi's face couldn't help but overflow with a bright smile.
Death Wrap Anti-Back, Defender Blockade Anti-Breakthrough, Hehe, Are You Scared Dear Volute?
"Hehehe!" Li Zhi smirked, but this smile became very terrifying when it fell into Kobe's eyes.
What are you laughing at? Why don't you just steal a ball? Laugh a, laugh?
Kobe Bryant was angry, and when he was angry, he opened his hand to his teammates and asked for the ball. Artest, a rookie, had just run to the top of the arc, and he was holding back his energy to score the first point of his Lakers career, but he saw Kobe Bryant asking for the ball.
Artest was entangled, passed ...... Or don't pass it on?
When Artest first joined the Lakers, he was scolded by many fans, saying that he hugged his thighs, but then Artest also responded domineeringly: "If you can't win the championship this year, it's my fault!" As soon as these words came out, the voices of doubt suddenly became a lot less.
But now that I just want to make a meritorious service, what do you think about the ball?
1、2、3…… Artest gritted his teeth and passed. After all, it is important to please the boss first.
Artest passed the ball, but what he received was Li Zhi's disdainful eyes, and suddenly there was a pain in his heart.
Kobe Bryant received the ball, leaned back against Li Zhi, he was not deep, and started to shake his shoulders in the middle distance, but Li Zhi behind him didn't eat this set at all, and pressed up directly, Kobe Bryant could only stand up and turn his back to the basket.
Li Zhi's offensive continued unabated, and when Kobe turned around, he Li Zhi squatted down, opened his arms, touched Kobe's basketball with both hands, and started directly.
Kobe Bryant didn't expect to be in the expected situation, entangled with Li Zhi to save the ball, but Li Zhi got the ball one step faster, and then passed the ball to Jackson.
Turning around, Li Zhi looked at Kobe, full of pride in his heart, the left hand of labor and management is entangled, and the right guard is blocked, why are you called Kobe?
